[Having made far too many wrong turns around the school, out comes the camera]

[Tink, tink]

Zach? Sweetie? Are you there?
Oh hi! Umm... So here I am! Long journey, and I know you're all confused, but I'm actually in the school...

[Looks around.]

Somewhere.

[Squint]

Well, now I am. Ugh... who are you?

[saintedsinner]

My name's Ed. I'm a student here.

[art_in_chaos]

Oh. Well, I meant to try and reach Dr. Addy. [Grin.] I'm now teaching here.

Did I accidentally send this to you? I'm not usually so technologically impaired, I'm just getting used to all of this. Sorry, hun.

Zach! Finally! You have no idea how hard it is to get a hold of you!

Well, umm, SURPRISE!
[Waves into camera with classic, wide grin]

I'm here. Decided to just... come and visit, and then decided that that wasn't good enough, so here I am! The newest Figure Drawing teacher at the institute.

[looks completely shellshocked]

I -- uh -- I'm usually in my office when I'm not...

Wait. Are you visiting or are you teaching? One would think the two would be mutually exclusive and...

What about your job at the Jeffersonian? Did...you quit?

Re: video

[art_in_chaos]

Yes, Zack. I'm teaching.

[Sappy smile]

It's okay. I'm okay. I just needed to... figure things out. And I missed you. The lab will be fine without me. You know Seeley and Brennan.

[Serious tone]

I just... with everything going on. And with what happened with you. It got me thinking. And well, here I am. Dr. Saroyan understood. My job is still there should I ever want to go back - just like yours.

Zach, Zach... You don't mean Zach Addy, do you? [Inwardly wondering who in their right mind would call him by sweetie, honestly.]

Re: [Voice, she's hiding her amusement]

[art_in_chaos]

[Looking around... not particularly into the camera]

Yes, actually. [Detecting attitude in her voice] I take it that you know him.

[Voice]

[eyes_are_uphere]

He'd be my TA for anatomy, actually. And who would you be? [...Well, okay. She's not good at this "hiding attitude in her voice" bit.]

Ah, makes sense.

I used to work with Zack in DC. I'm now working here as an Art teacher. Figure drawing in particular. Old friends, you see.
